Re: Early 28 roadster on ebay
Very Interesting, A whole month between Engine build & installing in car.. It does have a lot of Early items on it such as, The correct, First of three intake manifolds & clamps.. The ring that is screwed to the floor around the transmission hole, But yet it does not have the Canadian type of Power House Generator..Notice the Ford Script tag in the wire harness, with the 2nd generation switch..Another thing I did notice was the mount on the gas tank for the choke rod, looks to be the last style made. I guess the radiator shell could be the later one if it was built in June. It also has the later fan shroud on it..

Re: Early 28 roadster on ebay
I also notice the lack of the Canadian powerhouse, but wasn't sure if all Canadian Model A's had them, or only a portion of Canadian A's came with that style powerhouse.

Re: Early 28 roadster on ebay
It probably belongs in a museum. It would be very cool to have a car as original as that one, but it would need a special caretaker. That person is not me.

Re: Early 28 roadster on ebay
George Miller! Excellent memory. Yes, there is difference between the "imperial" gallon and the "U.S." Gallon. The imperial gallon is larger than the U.S. Gallon. Too bad about your speeding ticket though.. What was the rate of exchange at that time? As our dollar is sinking still to the US greenback. Jeff

Re: Early 28 roadster on ebay
The color appears to be gun metal blue with French gray stripe.

Re: Early 28 roadster on ebay
The current bid of $12,600 US translates into $16,798.32 Canadian.

Re: Early 28 roadster on ebay
I saw seen this car at the 1996 MAFCA Meet in Toronto, Ontario. Great car from Saskatchewan. The gentleman that owned the car at that time was from California.
I believe that I also saw this car at the MAFCA Meet in Tacoma, WA I did fine point judging at both meets so had a good close-up look at the car. Very nice original car. |

The colour looks green and the pinstripe looks white. This car looks very much like my old phaeton of Canadiian origin june 28 cowl stamp, that has since been passed on to another member here . I am sure he will post a pic for comparison. Also just curious, if this car was identical, but a phaeton, would it fetch more or less or the same ? Last edited by pooch; 01-23-2017 at 01:42 AM. |

Re: Early 28 roadster on ebay
Anyone want to hazard a guess as to what it sells for if it sells?

I wonder if this car was originally the same colour as the roadster? (Love the roadster!). I'm not sure if the Canadian cars that were assembled in Australia arrived here in their final topcoat of paint, or in undercoat (which would have made more sense to me). If they arrived here undercoated only, then any attempt to compare paint colours is probably pointless. My car's body was transferred to a '29 chassis and mechanicals before I purchased it, but I'm told that the original chassis included the E28 style hand brake. One (!) front fender is the early style, and it originally had the early style wheels. Last edited by Hoogah; 01-23-2017 at 03:14 AM. Reason: Typo and additional info |

Haha, yes it can be cold, we just came out of a two week -30/40 spell, the prairie provinces (middle) can have snow from around November 1 to mid April, but that can vary greatly as the last few days have been plus 2-4 (Celsius). Other areas can speak for themselves. It's all a matter of what you're used to, -2 I'm running around in a t-shirt and sneakers after that cold snap haha. And hence the reason Bombardier built the snowmobile, to give us snowbound people a way to get around. Sorry, not trying to change the topic gents, that is a fantastic model A and should be preserved! Saving iron from the scrap pile one piece at a time |
